Mazeroski hit a solo home run leading off the bottom of the ninth to lift the Pirates to a championship.

Mazeroski said the uniform -- which went for $633,000 at auction -- had been sitting around collecting mothballs for years and he felt it was time to "share it with the public."

"To tell you the truth, I had that jersey and uniform in a safe place, and I saw it once in 53 years, and I just looked at it to make sure the mothballs were working and all that stuff and nobody's been seeing it, and I just said, 'That should be out there for somebody to see,'" said Mazeroski.
